University College London, IOE

The study is part of my MSc Child Development degree, under the supervision of Karishma Jivraj. It is well known that social media is very popular amongst adolescents and adults. It has shown to serve great purposes such as networking, but research has also indicated there are negative effects. This study will look at the interaction between self-esteem and addiction to social media as well as how coping strategies affect that relationship. This research will be contributing to the literature about social media, encouraging efforts to alleviate the associated negative experiences and encourage a heathy use of social media.
